A tuple t1 of relation R subsumes tuple t2 of R, with respect to a query Q if for every database, tuple t1 derives all, and possibly more, answers to query Q than derived by tuple ...
In this paper, we present an approach that extends the Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm to handle multiobjective optimization problems by incorporating the mechanism of...
An increasing number of applications are being developed using distributed object computing (DOC) middleware, such as CORBA. Many of these applications require the underlying midd...

Abstract. Distributed cooperative applications (e.g., e-commerce) are now increasingly being designed as a set of autonomous entities, named agents, which interact and coordinate (...
Abstract. A two-population Genetic Algorithm for constrained optimization is exercised and analyzed. One population consists of feasible candidate solutions evolving toward optimal...
